Had my car decatted by Str8six today and had a new momo steering wheel fitted. Whilst waiting, Jason very kindly took some time to chat. He really should write a book about the last years at TVR, such an interesting chap! He showed me around the LS Tuscan that Str8six are finishing off. Obviously a V8, bespoke interior, apparently some pretty nice wheels (these were off when I was there), great colour IMO. The attention to detail, even down to the old (but new) style bonnet badge, is just awesome. I just wish I had the money!!!
Anyone else seen it?

Decatts sound awsome btw.

Hi guy, I was at str8six yesterday too to pick up my Tuscan which was parked next to your sag (I assume the green sag is urs as it had a new steering wheel on and the old one on the pax seat)! Never did pick mine up as noticed a fuel leak in the boot so Jason quickly got it back on the ramps but they didn't have the washer to fix it there and then. Anyhoo...I was wondering if you fancied selling me your original steering wheel? Feel free to email me if you'd like.

Toady, No, that Sag isn't mine. I have the Reflex Charcoal Tuscan vert that Jason had up for sale a couple of months ago. Depending on what time you were there I may have been long gone.
Admired your Tuscan S though. Great colour and nice with the black wheels.
I had the same Momo Trek R fitted that was in that Sag funnily enough. Looks the dogs too.

Ah ok! That'll teach me for assuming! ha ha! Thanks, I was unsure about the black wheels at first but they've grown on me! I've a few paint issues to sort but they can come in time, its just had loads of work done at str8six so looking forward to picking it up tomorrow!

Paint issues? st, that's a few quid there. A cascade colour?
Jason mentioned that the paint is a £1000 a litre!!!!! And I thought Reflex was bad!
Hope the weather holds for you tomorrow, it was pissing down on Saturday. I had a couple of hairy moments with standing water!

It wasn't this one but that's nice too.

Str8six are just finishing off the one that I saw. One of the last few ever to leave the factory. One famous owner!! So tempted to have the interior done to mine. Maybe at the next service....
Could tell the wife that one of the service points raised was that I needed a retrim!! biggrin

Ha ha I didn't get a chance to have a good look at the v8 tuscan as it was in the air when I was there. Maybe it'll be on the floor in a minute when I go get mine.

Yes its reflex purple and has acouple of dodgy patches on it from some cowboy ken and his aerosols! So I will get it sorted but in time! It's about £800 a litre so not going to be cheap! The roof is black too and painted badly so I might get it wrapped in carbon for now at only £200.

I hope they replace that dash display. Looks really out of step with the car.
